Description

I am a fine artist selling giclee prints. all my subjects are cars. Sports cars etc. If you want to create sculpture with your welding and get publicity I can promote your art, and in turn you could do some welding for me as a trade out of services. Basically I want to create car sculpture based on an existing model car, which will be covered with small pieces of metal welded into one congealed mass something like that shown. Has to be non rusting metal like aluminum, brass, copper so it helps if you have access to scrap metal of these materials in 25 cent sized pieces.. It would probably be better if your subject matter was different than mine so we wouldn't directly compete. Every welder I approached so far welders said "I get $100/hr. take it or leave it" but now that I sold a painting at an auction for 17 times that amount I think art is a great side gig--those is no ceiling! Why not step out of the commercial welding world into the fine arts on occasion? The last picture shows me with a painting
